How do I Capture Streaming video with Quicktime Pro?

In Lamonts post about converting video for the iPod, it was pointed out that one can capture streaming video (Steve Jobs Keynote speech for instance), with Quicktime Pro. I have QT7.04 Pro, but don't know how to do this simple thing. Can someone please tell me?

it's possible. i did it myself, after a few tryouts.
i still can't get the best result, but i got something.
first of all you have to save the streaming file(thru the save as qt movie, from CTRL-click). when you get a stream it gets cached on your computer. you might playback it even when offline. so if all that you need is a simple playback, that's ok. but it's a cache, sometime the system will erase it from your HD.
if you want to keep it as a qt file(or any other format) thats this is the deal. when you save the stream file, it saves a reference file(4kb) that reads the cache. you cannot recover them from the cache, not even by changing the termination, because the qt player won't recognize the .qtch files transformed into .mov.
open the file(reference you saved before), choose export from the file menu, and choose the setting that you want. i still don't get a good quality(i know it's incredible that a stream file has a better quality...) and i still have to export the video separated from the audio. but if you need only the moving image to edit a homevideo, and your only source is a stream, it's a start.
so if anyone feel like growing the knowledge tree, let's go ahead.

  • How do I capture streaming video to a DVD on a mid-2010 17" Macbook Pro I have a mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8 Gb of memory?

    I want to copy a streaming video that my company has provided me with a link to a website that streams video presentation to my computer (provided I have an internet connection).  However, for those occasions where I have no access to the internet, I would lioke to have the presentation on a disk.  Is there a simple way to get the video downloaded and copied to a disk using the equipment I have?

    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.

  • Trouble viewing streaming video with Quicktime

    This is a problem I have no encountered before, and I am hoping someone has an idea, because I'm fresh out.
    A user has to take a class that involves her logging into a webiste with her own unique ID, and watching a video before it will allow her to take a test. It is a quicktime streaming video. When she attempts to watch the video, all she gets is a large quicktime symbol with a bar going back and forth under it, as though it were loading, but it never loads. Here comes the odd part. We had another user log into the website ont the same computer and she was able to watch the video just fine. We then had the original user try to watch on a different computer, and she was still not able to watch, though another user was able to watch the video with their own login on that computer as well. We believe it is a problem with her account on that website, but I am just curious if quicktime has any quirks that might cause this? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I cannot imagine that the problem is due to QuickTime or any other fault on the computer. If it were, it's highly likely that all users logging in from that same computer would have the same problem, and the problem would not be moving with that user to other computers.
    I think it's almost certainly something amiss with your user's account on your server.
    Regards.

  • Extracting Audio from Video With QuickTime Pro?

    I read on another discussion board that QuickTime Pro could record/extract audio only from a video file. So I purchased the QuickTime Pro upgrade today (for Windows XP) but can't seem to find out how to do it, assumimg that post was correct and it can be done at all.
    The Nero video editing software I use can get the video file in MPEG-2, MPEG-1, AVI and other formats. I tried MPEG-1, but even the conversion to QuickTime's .mov format came up with no audio at all. I noticed a post here saying that was a limitation of the software. I could purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 add-on but that seems to only allow playback and doesn't look like it will help any.
    Another post on the other discussion board said that virtualdub.org has a software program that could do this extraction, but silly me I went with Apple and was delighted to read about the no refund policy just now. :-/
    I'm guessing another possible approach is some kind of hardware solution -- a recording device of some sort?

    In order to extract a track (video or audio) the file first must have those as independent tracks.
    MPEG 1 and 2 are "muxed" (video and audio in the same track) so QuickTime Pro has nothing to extract.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert .mpg and .mpeg files to QuickTime formats.
    If you export from Nero as .avi you can also use QuickTime Pro to extract tracks as it will have at least two.
    MPEG 1 and 2 are playback formats and are not intended to be edited.

  • Can I cut & past MOV videos with QuickTime Pro ?

    I have a couple of DigiCam Quicktime MOV videos which I want to cut & paste.
    Is this possible with a QuickTime Pro installation (under WinXP) ?
    Is there any other alternative software which let me do such simple tasks with Quicktime MOV videos?
    Peter

    Yes.
    QuickTime Player Pro allows editing of nearly any format it can "play". MPEG-1 can be viewed but not edited.

  • Error when trying to save still image from video with Quicktime Pro

    I just purchased Quicktime Pro so that I can use it with my new Nano (the one that shoots video). I want to grab a frame from the video and create a still image (in jpeg format). I should be able to do it, but when I try, I get an error 11005 (or something like that). Anyone know any way to fix this? Thanks!

    I also tried the alt/ctrl/shift buttons when clicking Editor in the Photoshop welcome screen. It did ask if I wanted to reset the preferences. I chose yes. I still get the same error message when trying to save for web.
    Below....showing I don't have a "save for web" folder on my C drive.
    And below, showing the same error after pressing alt/shift/ctrl when clicking on editor and clearing the preferences.
    I don't have a 'Save for Web' folder anywhere on my C: drive. I searched and came up with no folder with the text "save for web" in it.
    I did find a "save for web" folder on my D: drive and deleted that.. but now when I start up Photoshop, the option for Save for Web is grayed out...not able to select it.

  • How to download movies from web with Quicktime Pro

    How do I download movies to my harddrive from youtube and google video. Have quicktime pro, but I don't see down arrow when I watch a movie on the web. There is gotta be a way to this for a Mac. Somebody explain it to me, please....

    Quicktime can't download videos from youtube. Youtube videos aren't quicktime videos they are flash flv's videos.
    There's a few ways to download youtube videos:
    Wail you have the youtube page open that has a video you want to download you open Safari's activity window and look for the flv's url (usually the largest file). Copy that url into Safari's download manager...
    Or a much simpler way is to download MPEG-Streamclip, free. Copy the url of the youtube page into MPEG-Streamclip "Get URL" done...faster. You can either download the flv or mpg-4 (better quality than the flv) video from youtube using MPEG-streamclip.
    Here's M{EG-Streammclip down page http://www.squared5.com/
    As for Goggle there a download button on the right hand side of the Google web page.

  • Saving Videos With QuickTime Pro

    I recently brought QuickTime Pro so I could save videos I wanted, and put them on my iPod. I'm having troubles doing this. Can someone please help?!?

    Sometimes when you tap the download link in Safari yu can download and save the video. The GoodReader app allows you to download via entering the download URL. You can copy the URL from Safri and paste in GoodReader.

  • Capturing Screen Video with Quicktime Screen Recording

    I've just found that Quicktime can record everything on the screen. This is very useful as I want to produce some training videos that are based on web-browsing. The problem is that I want to be able to zoom in on parts of the screen and I saw elsewhere a trick that invloved using Universal Access to Zoom in with either the mouse wheel or Keyboard. The problem is that these zooms don't appear to be recorded in Quicktime. Is that correct, or am I missing something?
    many thanks

    captfred--
    Can you help with this from an Oct 2010 post?  I'm having the same trouble in OS 10.6.8--random dropouts in QT Screen Recordings using QT Player 10.0 (131).  The original poster said the problem only happens when recording sound, but I need sound.  If you can help, please email me at blockard @@ iname . com.  Thanks!
    "Sometimes it records fine and I end up with a full recording, sometimes the middle is gone, sometimes just the end. The file size doesn't seem to matter; I have some good recordings that are nearly 500MB, and some that failed when they are only 30MB (and I have well over 300GB free)."

  • Can't save videos with Quicktime Pro

    Hi, I was trying to watch the new iPhone 3.0 OS presentation, but it couldn't stream properly. So I wanted to download it so I could watch it later without buffering etc. But when I save it 'as a qt movie' or 'a qt source' it saves as a maximally 3kb .mov file. And when I play it, it streams again. So I don't understand how it isn't downloaded fully.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you very much!

    True "streaming media" files in QuickTime format can't be saved to a local machine. All you can save is a "link" (your 3KB file) to the source.
    Many of those Apple presentation files (Keynotes, for an example) are available for download at the iTunes Store.

  • Can not encode / export videos in quicktime Pro

    I have been unable to ever sucessfuly export a video with quicktime pro on my new laptop I got this past July right from the start.
    When ever I start exporting a video into the h.264 or other formats the progress will start off at 8% and about 5 minutes later will on average get as far as 21%. But that is as far as I can get. At that time quicktime terminates. I get a Message from the Visual C++ Library saying that QuickTimePlayer.exe has encountered a buffer overun and its internal state has become currupted and must be terminated. When you click OK quicktime Is closed out, and the file you were attempting to create is left on your disk with a file size of 0 bytes.
    This is with the latest version of quicktime.
    My system spects are
    CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4800+
    Memory: 2 GB
    OS: Windows XP Professional SP2
    Does anyone know what is causing the buffer overrun and how I can fix it or get past this problem. Uninstalling and Reinstalling quicktime does not fix the issue and it has been happening since day one like I said.
    I typed out the whole buffer overrun error when It occured about 10 minutes ago here trying to post this thread, however I should of known better then leaving the buffer overrun errors open and quicktime ideling with the termination message. Windows Decided to BSOD on my just as I was getting ready to post this message=\

    QuickTime is not supported on the 64-bit version of Windows (look here for the official statement), so if that's what you have (as I presume you do from the processor description), it may well not work correctly. Some people have managed to get it working (at least tolerably), but from what I've read, a recent security update from Microsoft has caused a lot of problems. You might try rolling back recent Windows updates and see if you can get things working, but it may just not work for you.

  • How do I create a JMF streaming server with QuickTime Web Client?

    Can anyone give me some pointers on how to create a JMF streaming server and user can type in a rtsp URL on the web browser and be able to view the streaming video in QuickTime player?
    thanks

    JMF does not have RTSP server capabilities built-in. You would have to program the RTSP request-response protocol yourself.

  • Can QT Pro capture streaming video from webcams?

    I'm trying to capture segments of video from the National Geographic's Wildcam Africa, in which they have a live feed of video from a waterhole in Africa 24/7. Can QT Pro do this? (All I can find is info on creating streaming video with QT.)

    SnapZ Pro can create any format of QuickTime when you "finalize" the file. You only get one choice at this step so you must plan ahead.
    If you capture at 640X480 and export to DV Stream you can edit that file with iMovie. Adjust your Display dimensions so your capture gets the biggest version of the on screen area. If the play window is small (most are 320X240) set your Display to 800X600 prior to capture and see if it helps.
